This week's episode of "Bailando Por Un Sueño 2017" was epic with the inclusion of guest judge Lolita Cortés. For those that are not familiar, Cortés is a musical theatre legend in México and was one of the most ruthless judges on TV Azteca's "La Academia." After a break from television she returned to make a special appearance on the semi-final of the Televisa reality show and it got heated. Lolita is not one to hold back and if she see's a technique is not right, she will call you out, but always keeps it professional.
After Sergio Goyri's first musical number to the tune of "Torero" by Chayanne, Lolita criticized the horrible choice in wardrobe. She compared the clothes to the way Speedy Gonzalez was animated on the Looney Tunes. The "Señora Acero" actor seemed to be enjoying the criticism and had not taken it to a personal level as he was seen laughing and smiling. Then Goyri yawned and Cortés called him out for being rude.
Things started to heat up with Lolita said that Goyri and his dance partner "were just having fun" and not really in it to win the competition. She suggested to take the show seriously as the goal of the whole project was to fulfill a dream.
Sergio Goyri retaliated by saying that the dream was already fulfilled, that he helped his partner realize it, wether they won the show or not.
"Mrs. Cortés, I have been working for 40 years and I've never worked with you," he said. "That's the biggest different, in being a villain that people love, than being a villain that comes to burst everyone's balls. You are great in your character, you will not burst mine. I come here to have fun, to have a good time and from the first show, the girl had her dream realized. I had not wanted to say anything, but since you burst my balls, I can tell you now. They didn't hire me to burst everyone. You are great in your character, not just in this show, in all of them. So much bitterness must be sad, getting home at night, where do you put so much bitterness."
Lola then replied: "For everyone, for you Mr. Goyri, I don't have 40 years in the entertainment industry, in 2 years I will, when we stand on a stage, the people that do theatre, we don't think of ourselves. We think of the audience that took a long time to save up and pay for a ticket, because it's not easy. This isn't bitterness, it's discipline because I need to give the audience the best night of their lives because I hope that anyone of them can say, 'I want to do what she does.'"
Lola ended up giving the couple a 2 out of 10. On the second round with Sergio Goyri, Lola gave the couple props for a better dance number commending him for being a good partner. Lola gave them a 9 to everyone's surprise.
Sergio Goyri ending up being one of the couples to exit the show, but before it all ended he took time to apologize to Cortés. "I want to publicly apologize to Lola," he said. "The woman is a lady and it got heated. Sorry."
As the credits of the show rolled on, Lolita went to the stage and gave Sergio Goyri a hug. "Don't worry about it, that's how the show is," she told him. "It's an honor to have you hear." Watch the moment below and tell us what you think!
